Good time to sell land in Samui/Lamai?
KhunLA replied to Nepal4me's topic in Real Estate, Housing, House and Land Ownership
Still in recovery ... and will be for many years to come. Selling depends on value to seller, along with ages of seller. Wait 5 yrs for a better price, maybe, or get & spend now. Or, invest in something else that is moving up. I'm soon to be 68 (wife 46), so we sold everything (house & 4 lots), even though a buyer's market, and invested in retirement home (last house build) along with eliminating most monthly bills; mortgage/rent, utilities (solar), along with transport cost / petrol, (again EVs & solar). Enjoying it all now, with lots more monthly pocket money, and security (oops fund), minimal cost future for the wife, after I krap out. Seemed a much better idea for us, than waiting to sell, at better price, or OK price if an expensive emergency popped up. -
Couple in their70s now rationing cups of tea !

I feel ya ... the Neuropathic pain can be annoying as all hell. Had it for well over 5ish years, closer to 10. Could never narrow down any triggers for it. Sis is/was a pharmacist, so I got 1000 / 10mg valiums from her, and they came in handy for sleeping, as seemed to act up at the end of the day, while trying to rest, as nerve roots do. I tried all the recommended, and then some pain/phycho meds, (pregabalin, gabapentin, amitriptyline, nortriptyline) and none gave complete relief. As stated earlier, need to be very careful self medicating, as some crazy (suicidal) side affects. ????

The top 6 on this page, would fill anyone's needs. I was looking at the 750w/10Ah for 47k, though was a bit less when I was peeking at it. Couple others weren't available. Since I had the Schwinn, and converting was simple enough, I got better specs for ~25k (~15k+my bike cost). Yea, they ain't cheap. As you can get a DECO motorcycle for 39k. Though not the thing if wanting to exercise. More than a few options at BkkBike ???? https://www.bkkebike.com/e-bike-thailand

You didn't look very hard. Curious what y'all think a quality ebike is ? Especially from the post you quoted ... what can't you get here that UK has ?

"I am assuming that there is no situation where you can exit one country's border and be prevented from entering the next border since you would be stuck in no man's land. " Actually there is, did you not watch the movie 'Terminal', based on true story ???? From my reading, Thai Imm will usually warn you on the way out or in, 'that's the last time, you may be refused if doing again'. Just always make sure you have what is necessary to enter the country you are doing the turn around in; Laos, Cambo or Malay. Don't think Myanmar is an options yet. Chok Di

Recommendation for a Android Smart Phone Salesperson who speaks fluent English
KhunLA replied to connda's topic in Chiang Mai
Simply research the phone, and buy from manufacturer or authorized reseller. Do you really need someone to explain the specs of something, a phone of all things, that you are buying ? Not that I'd trust any salesperson anyway. Just Google the specs you don't understand. Prioritize what you are buying it for, and for me, it's the camera #1, replaceable battery #2, then chipset/processor/memory. Storage not a biggie, as I don't keep much on it. All gets moved to laptop, if important. I think I got 3 photos on my phone, and only because used for lock & home screen. -
And yet, there appears to be a 'hands off' policy right now, at least outside tourist areas. Which I'm very happy for, as mines is about as illegal as they come. But I don't flaunt it's capabilities by passing PoPo on the road. Besides, not wearing a helmet or bounce like I used to, I keep it around 25 kph, so almost incognito. Though you'd have to be blind not to notice it's motorized.

That would be a bit counter productive, and shipping, depending on the bike, may cost more than the bike. They have quality bikes here, if you buy one, with due diligence of research. They are not cheap anywhere, but I'd guess cheaper here/TH, than USA/UK/EU, since CH friendly import, and so much closer. Even my DIY bike was not inexpensive, but in the end, better than what I was seeing available at the time. Since I had the bike, converting it was quite easy.

"In short, the answer is no: you can't take an electric bike on a plane. It's all because of the battery. Any rechargeable lithium battery larger than 100Wh is prohibited from being taken onto a plane. Some airlines may allow batteries that are up to 160Wh, but you'll need to ask for permission in advance.Mar 16, 2563 BE" https://www.furosystems.com/news/can-you-take-an-electric-bike-on-a-plane/#:~:text=In short%2C the answer is,ask for permission in advance.

Your essential guide to Thailand’s new driving license points system
KhunLA replied to webfact's topic in Thailand News
Useless info for us that drive legally ???? -
Since most limit power banks to 10-20k mAh, it's a safe guess you ain't carrying a 36 or 48v 10-30Ah battery on any plane. And my experience working for airlines, that's considered haz mat as checked or freight. But what do I know ???? Unless you got the bargain of the century, that ebike will be a lot cheaper here than USA or EU/UK. This from someone who priced ebikes here and the USA and China and simply decided to build my own.

Not sure if there is still a Power Buy at Hua Hin, as not on any map. Good news, maybe, there is a Fit Bit vendor in the mall somewhere ... supposedly.

That's sad, as shingles should have been there first thought, especially since noticing the rash.

Possible, but rare, unless selling the vaccine, then everyone gets it again. If in TH, no prob finding kids with CP Yes, much more serious as an adult, though I would have thought that was common knowledge. DISCLAIMER: I forgot what forum I was on ????

Yikes ... with those 2 links, I think OP has to specify to us what he/she/it thinks a top end ebike is. Personally I'd just buy one here, as bringing one, with or without the battery would be quite the hassle. And getting a battery (quality) here, possibly even more hassle.

EV Owners … Real life experience & help thread
KhunLA replied to KhunLA's topic in Thailand Motor Discussion
Did our 1st O&A overnighter. 2 nights up at Hua Hin, only 100 kms away. Didn't drive much while there, so didn't need to top up while there. Photo is self explanatory. Stopped at a garden center just S of HH, so a snap of the odometer/info & again at home.
